Inner Growth

Self-talk is your internal dialogue. It’s influenced by your subconscious mind, & it reveals your thoughts, beliefs, questions, & ideas. How we talk to ourselves matters- how that is structured is often moulded by what we are told growing up, what we witness during our childhood & every perception the world offers us. There is not much we can do to prevent or change it but we can have awareness of how our influences have shaped our thought patterns & seeped into our self talk.

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Do you often say things like..."my nose is too big" "I look fat" or when we are faced with a challenge does a little voice in your head tell you "I can't do this, it's too hard."

These moments are mostly unconscious acts & we don't realise how that typical type of self talk can energetically flow into our days so fluidly. We all struggle with negative self-talk that creates self doubt. So you are not alone.

Developing a positive inner voice with awareness & practice helps you build self-esteem & confidence.  Your words will make you feel good. When you feel good about yourself, the better your mood will be & your performance will greatly improve.

Positive self-talk enables you to be in control. When you say "I am made to do this", it trumps the negative self-talk that sabotages your day & distracts you as you work. With positive words, you are in control of the day.

Soon enough, you will find that with more positive self-talk, you will react to things differently & things that used to make you self doubt or angry will not exist anymore. When you are in control of your emotions , you are more likely to live a happy & fulfilled life.

One way we can re condition negative self-talk into a positive one is to create a mantra you can live by, & whenever you start listening to the negative voices, say it over & over again. Slowly, the negative voice will vanish.

We are not, nor should we be, immutable.

All things change,

The seasons as the earth spins round the sun,

The wind as air heats and cools,

The symphony of sounds as day turns to night.

We are no different,

We can and should change,

And yet we rail against it.

We hold this notion that must alway know who we are and thus must never change,

Yet we still know the earth as the seasons change,

We still know the air as the winds change,

We still know the songs of day and night no matter how they change.

To know yourself does not mean you cannot change,

But simply that you must accept change knowing that regardless it is still you.
